A Prayer for Us

 

Hello my beloved family,


I want you to know that I love each of you and keep you lifted in prayer always. My life has been very busy and....well hectic as of late. I decided to send out a prayer for us all to get a hold of and receive for my report this month. I AM READY FOR SOME WIND THERAPY. HURRY SPRING!!!!


“Heavenly Father, I pray that you take us as we are; strengthen us when we are weak; and help us be responsible with the bounties of your blessings. O God, let your loving kindness shine upon us and all whom we love. Shine upon those who are suffering, upon those who are sick, and upon those who have experienced grief and loss. In Jesus name, Amen.”


Be kind to one another and walk in love.


WELCOME 2025


REMEMBER "JESUS, PLEASE SAVE ME NOW"

​

Jesus loves you and so do I.

Graves Retains Key Chair

 

January 15, 2025 - Washington DC


The changing landscape in Washington, D.C., will have a trickle-down impact on policies and regulations state governments implement. One area where we will likely see friction between the federal government and state governments will center on electric vehicles and the survival of the internal combustion engine. A flash point in this area will be how and if states decide to link their policies to those enacted by the state of California. A recent story out of Oregon caught our attention and should serve as a warning about what may be coming down the road. Daimler Truck North America (DTNA) announced it is pausing sales of internal combustion engines in Oregon. In their press release, DTNA cited uncertainty around Oregon’s Advanced Clean Truck rule.


What’s troubling about the move is that DTNA is doing so because they believe Oregon is implementing parts of the new rule differently than how California has proceeded. This is important because federal law allows states like Oregon to copy California’s emissions rules. Yet, in this case, Oregon appears to be making its own emissions policies. All those committed to preserving the internal combustion engine should understand how state and federal laws are evolving. If states like Oregon can create mandates, we could see an expanding battleground. A patchwork of laws and rules would create problems and confusion for manufacturers and consumers. The fight to allow consumers options regarding their engine choice is heating up. The Motorcycle Riders Foundation is engaged in this fight in D.C., and you must remain active back home.

Motorcycle Safety and Education Program

​

   It is a pleasure to help new drivers to be aware of motorcycles on our roadways. I have been teaching Motorcycle Safety and Awareness in Lewis, Thurston, and Mason Counties for the past 3 years. I found it to be very rewarding and a great benefit to our community to spread the word of Motorcycle safety. In my opinion, Motorcycle safety cannot be taught enough in our high schools and driving schools and to all drivers, no matter what kind of vehicle or motorcycle they drive. I hope to keep teaching new drivers whenever and wherever I can. “REMEMBER” always look before you act.  It may Save A Life of a Brother, Sister or maybe one of your own family. HEY, were out there!! This message came from a motorcycle rider near you!    

 

Thank you,
